november!

Yay, it's November! That means it's Dad's birthday and Ray and I's anniversary month; five years! (We can't remember the exact day, so we have the whole month.) 
Other highlights for the month include the showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part I in the theaters, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, a visit from Tim, and Thanksgiving! 
It's been a busy last few days and I haven't blogged in while; as Ray says, "Two whole days and nary a blog post." So here are some pictures from recent adventures. 

On a dreary Sunday, we set out with our umbrellas for a walk in the town. . . 

(Foggy Halloween morning.)

The Olde Hatte; a local pub.

Mail can be dropped off in these Royal Mailboxes. 

We aren't entirely certain what "Franked" mail is but I think it's metered mail. 

A nice tree we passed on the way home. . . 

And some little berries Ray picked for me.

Halloween night we walked from our house over to Kate and Iain's to watch scary movies and eat sweet treats. There were zombie gingerbread men, zombie guts cupcakes, pumpkin pie and Haribo chewies. We watched what I think was my first Zombie movie ever? called Flesh-Eating Zombies. And we watched an older film, The Haunting (1963) with Julie Harris, Claire Bloom and Richard Johnson. Both were great picks. By the end of the night we all agreed that Ray would be a very good person to have around should any Zombies creep out of the ground. It was a dandy night hanging out with some new friends.
